Discord image links and Markdown

Upload once, copy Markdown or a direct URL, and paste into Discord channels and DMs.

Overview

Share images in Discord with Markdown

Discord supports Markdown image syntax in messages: paste an imgtree link or use ![alt](url) with the direct file URL from your upload.

Guest uploads work with no account — upload a screenshot or photo, copy the Markdown snippet from the image page, and paste into any channel or DM.

Upload

Upload your image

Drop a file on the imgtree home page or use the Chrome extension to capture and upload in one step.

Open the image page after upload to copy Markdown, direct URL, HTML, or BBCode.

Markdown

Copy Markdown for Discord

On the image page, copy the Markdown line — it looks like ![filename](https://…). Paste it into a Discord message and send.

Discord renders the image inline in most clients. For a text link instead of an inline image, paste the direct URL alone.

  • Markdown — inline image preview in the chat
  • Direct URL — plain link; Discord may still unfurl a preview
  • Thumbnail URL — lighter embed when you only need a small preview

Servers

Server rules and embeds

Some Discord servers restrict external links or large embeds. Check channel rules before posting hotlinked images.

imgtree is for screenshots, diagrams, and photos you have the right to share — not copyrighted or illegal material.
